Editorial Procedure
It is the policy of the journal that no submission, or substantially overlapping submission, be published or be under review at another journal or conference at any time during the review process. Papers extending previously published conference papers are acceptable, as long as the journal submission provides a significant contribution beyond the conference paper, and the overlap is described clearly at the beginning of the journal submission. If you have any question about whether the overlap with another paper is "substantial," please include in the paper a discussion of the similarities and differences with other papers, including the unique contribution(s) of the Algorithmica submission.
Frequently Asked Questions
A complete list of general journal Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) can be found at: http://www.springer.com/gp/authors-editors/journal-author/frequently-asked-questions/3832
Time to First Decision: From submission to first decision, the journal aims to provide authors with a quick decision. Reviewers are given a tight deadline to review the manuscript. In most cases, the decision is made in less than four months. The timing can fluctuate depending upon several variables: the length of your article, the availability of reviewers if the topic is narrow, and the depth of reviewing necessary if the manuscript is lacking straightforward components, such as suitable references. Clear and concise language and presentation will help editors and reviewers concentrate on the scientific content of your paper and thus smooth the peer review process. NOTE: special issues of the journal are given an option to adapt a different schedule for decisions. Check the Call for Papers for specific schedules.
Time to Publication: Once an article is accepted, the files are immediately provided to the production department for processing. Assuming proofs are returned quickly, the article should be published online (the official version) within 3-5 weeks.
Article DOI: Once your article is proofed, it is immediately published online, which is the publication of record. The assigned Digital Object Identifier (DOI) can be used for citations until the article is assigned to a Volume/Issue/Page Number. NOTE: Once the article is published online, no further changes can be made.
Scope: If you have questions about the scope and suitability of your article, please visit “Aims and Scope” from the right-hand side bar to read further about the content of the journal.
MSWord: The journal does not provide MsWord templates for your manuscript. Please consult each section of the Instructions for Authors to ensure all components of your article have been properly included (references, table, figures, etc). If accepted, your article will be formatted by our production team.
Article Charges: The journal does not charge a submission fee or publication fee. If your article is accepted for publication, it will be published without incurring any cost to the authors. However, authors are offered the option to publish your accepted article as Open Access. You will be provided with the details to this option after acceptance. Selecting the Open Access option will require an Article Processing Fee from either the author or his member institution. Please note color art is free of charge for the online publication.
Manuscript Submission
Submission of a manuscript implies: that the work described has not been published before; that it is not under consideration for publication anywhere else; that its publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities – tacitly or explicitly – at the institute where the work has been carried out. The publisher will not be held legally responsible should there be any claims for compensation.
Permissions
Authors wishing to include figures, tables, or text passages that have already been published elsewhere are required to obtain permission from the copyright owner(s) for both the print and online format and to include evidence that such permission has been granted when submitting their papers. Any material received without such evidence will be assumed to originate from the authors.
